Lavender responds to critical letter
      Editor: This letter is in response to Constance Green’ letter questionin my personal money management. Ms. Green brought up my property taxes.

So my taxes may show delinquent for a six month period, but they are always paid at the end of the year and if a penalty is due I pay that.

More support for Badgeley, Montell

Benefits are great in Union Township
      Editor: For years, I’ve asked why some $30,000 of our annual real estate taxes goes to Union Township. What do we get in return? Trustees give us an annual $6,000 mutual aid fire contract.
